Chicago regional events: Ande noted that attendance was low at the Chicago IMSA20 event.

Paul noted that SF had the opposite problem: more people than they had planned for in terms of space and food. Attendance was a little below 70 people.

Kevin said that planning for the Boston event (24 February) is coming along smoothly. The club was able to get a space for free in a lounge at the Charles Mark hotel in Boston. The event will have hors d'oeuvres and a cash bar. Anjali would like to keep the cost around $10 to make it more approachable for college students.

Kevin has had little success in finding people in LA interested in heading up an event. Glenys Thorstenson expressed some interest. Kevin will follow up with Glenys to see where the event planning stands.

Pooja and Matthew would like to do an event on 23 March, given the number of IMSA students at Wash U. and SLU, as well as a number of parents that Matthew has contact with in Illinois. Some concerns were expressed about doing an event on a Friday night, especially if people would be coming in from Illinois. Pooja and Matthew will contact Carolyn about finding IMSA faculty and staff who might be willing to come down for the event.

Paul gave a synopsis of the LinkedIn proposal. Discussion was tabled until next month.

Matthew got old LUMEN documentation from Jason. The tentative broad topic for LUMEN that Matthew proposed was the effect of recent technological and scientific advances on how people view self and society.

Neal gave a brief update on the server and the state of myIMSA. He will investigate the state of myIMSA and what is necessary to get it the new version rolled out.

Ande noted that there still is no elections chair.

Paul offered to provide a summary of the responses to the strategic planning emails to those who are interested.

Ande needs to know who will be running for positions on the Cabinet again next year.

Ande moved to adjourn, Kevin seconded. Motion carried unanimously.
